Lerida Estate is one of the oldest coffee farms in the Boquete region, founded by Toleff Boche Monniche, a Norwegian engineer who worked on the Panama Canal. Coffee was first farmed here in the 1920’s, however, after buying the farm in 1957, John Collins placed Lerida coffee on the map exporting quality coffee primarily to Europe. Due to elevation, perfect micro-climate and volcanic...read more soil from Panama’s only volcano (BaruVolcano), Lerida coffee is not only among the best in Panama, it is among the best in the world. Three years ago it was purchased by the Amoruso family, this new ownership is determined to keep Lerida’s proud coffee tradition.
